Conspiracy or crime? Prosecutor, council say 329 shelter animals euthanized prematurely; Mayor alleges charges are political scheme By RoB Anthes ranthes@communitynews.org After nearly a year of simmering, a controversy surrounding the Hamilton Animal Shelter finally boiled over last month, amplifying an already tense political atmosphere in the township and sending Mayor Kelly Yaede on a defensive campaign weeks before the first primary election of her career. Behind all the political intrigue and finger pointing, though, is a real issue.
No one—not even Yaede— denies that animals died and laws were broken at the Hamilton Animal Shelter and, because of this, people could go to jail. On May 3, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office announced township officials Jeff Plunkett and Todd Bencivengo each had been charged with two counts of third-degree animal cruelty and one count of second-degree official misconduct. The MCPO said its investigation revealed that in a 34-month period between Jan. 1, 2016 and Oct. 1, 2018, staff at the Hamilton animal shelter had euthanized nearly 330 animals before holding them at least seven days, the minimum number required by state law. Both men have long ties to Hamilton’s municipal government. Bencivengo retired in March after serving for years
as the supervisor of the Hamilton Township Animal Shelter. Plunkett works as the Hamilton Township health officer and the director of the township Department of Health, Recreation, Senior and Veterans Services. Plunkett has served as township health officer since 1995 and as the head of the recreation department since 2016. The animal shelter falls under the township health department. Then, on May 7, an investigative subcommittee led by Republican councilwoman Ileana Schirmer and Democratic councilman Rick Tighe released a 43-page report on the shelter that depicted a facility run haphazardly, without rules or oversight. This lackadaisical approach, the report suggests, allowed animals to be euthanized in an inhumane and occasionally illegal manner. See SHELTER, Page 12
Wild campaign nears end Three of four races contested in June 4 municipal primary By PhiliP seAn cURRAn
The Class of 2019 at Hamilton’s three public high schools—including the Top 10 seniors featured starting on Page 24—will graduate June 19, 2019. Steinert High kicks things off 3 p.m. at Cure Insurance Arena, with Nottingham following at 7 p.m. Hamilton West’s fesitivities are 7 p.m. at the Trenton War Memorial.
Hamilton Township voters will have an unusually full slate of candidates to pick from when they go to the polls for the primary election Tuesday, June 4. On the Republican side, there are challengers in both the mayoral and council races, with incumbent mayor Kelly Yaede facing off against David Henderson for mayor. At the council level, five candidates— Bill Argust, Rich Balgowan, Vinnie Capodanno, Tony Celentano and Cynthia Simon—run-
ning for two ballot slots in the general election. Things are slightly cleaner on the Democratic side, where township council president Jeff Martin runs unopposed for the party’s mayoral nomination. Three candidates— JoAnne Bruno, Pat Papero and Nancy Phillips—seek the two Democratic nods for township council. But the names are only part of the story in what is turning out to be a wild campaign season in Hamilton. *** Hamilton Mayor Kelly Yaede faces two challengers, one on her political right and the other on her left, if she wants to keep the job she has held since
November 2012. Her first test will be against fellow Republican David Henderson, a former supporter turned adversary, in the primary. If she wins that, Democratic council president Jeffrey Martin will be waiting for her in the general election in November. Yaede, 50, has built her political resume one step at a time: a member of the Hamilton Board of Education, later a Hamilton councilwoman and then the first female mayor of the ninth largest community in the state. During that time, she had to overcome invisible obstacles, like being told the community would never elect a woman, she See PRIMARY, Page 16

Readers react to investigation into toxic waste proposal Last month, the Hamilton Post and many of its sister publications at Community News Service ran an article about a proposed toxic waste facility in Bucks County that could have environmental and health impacts on the surrounding area, including Mercer County. Feedback came from readers across the region. Below is a selection of those letters: I recently read your article on the proposed Elcon facility with great interest (“Our new toxic neighbor?” May 2019). Having a technical background, I was tempted to overanalyze the technical claims. I feel that would be pedantic and miss the very important point you were making. I did work in the chemical industry for more than 45 years, serving as Environmental Engineering Manager at Yates Industries in Bordentown for several years. “Hazardous waste” is a term that was popularized in the 1970's soon after the federal EPA was formed. It started to be regulated around that time by the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Before that Industries just did what they felt was reasonable (and affordable). Hazardous waste is classified by cat-
egory according the hazard. Examples of the categories are: flammable, corrosive, reactive, toxic and acutely toxic. The last two are, to me, the scariest. The effect of toxic chemicals is sometimes delayed by many years and can result in a host of serious health issues including; cancer, birth defects, miscarriages, heart and lung issues, brain diseases etc. We do not fully understand how many of these chemicals interfere with normal body functions. Waste treatment does not destroy the wastes. It merely recombines the elemental makeup of the hazardous compounds into non (or less) hazardous compounds like carbon dioxide, water, and various inorganic salts (solids). The solids need to go somewhere. A hazardous waste treatment plant is just another chemical plant with many of the same operations as a chemical production plant. It just does not produce a saleable product. The operations in the plant need to be analyzed for safety from both a workers perspective and an environmental impact perspective. Accidents do happen in the chemical industry, and these need to be remedied quickly and thoroughly. Prevention is key but not foolproof. One operation of great concern would be transfers of the materials
at the facility. A liquid leak or air emission is always a possibility due to mechanical (equipment) failure or human error. Considering the limited and disturbing track record of Elcon, it would be nothing short of foolhardy to allow this facility to be created in one of the most densely populated areas in the country. The radius of influence of an air release would be skewed to the east due to the prevailing winds—this is very scary for New Jersey, and I wouldn't rule out effects as far as NYC. No one knows for sure how low the concentration needs to be to "reduce the hazard to an acceptable level." Notice, I did not say eliminate—I don't think we can ever make that claim. I recall an article that claimed that PCBs have been found on the most remote Pacific island in the parts-pertrillion range. So, the conclusion was that they are everywhere. Keep up the good work. Richard Vargo, Hamilton I just wanted to compliment assistant managing editor Rob Anthes on his article (“Our new toxic neighbor?”) that was recently published in the Hamilton Post. I felt it was not only well written, but contained all the necessary background information and research necessary for
the reader to form a clear opinion on the issue. It is articles such as this that I’m sure led to his Metcalf Institute Fellowship for 2019. Congratulations, and keep up the good work, Rob. You are a true credit to your profession. Richard Schrader, Hamilton I'm writing to thank you for your article published May 2019 about the toxic waste facility proposed for Bucks County. “Our new toxic neighbor” is crucial information with long-term and longranging ramifications. I had no awareness of the Elcon Recycling Services planning, and the only way I've become informed is thanks to your article. As someone relatively new to the area, I really appreciate your investigation. Anita Allyn, Ewing Thank you for your article about the proposed Elcon facility in Bucks County (“Our new toxic neighbor,” May 2019). As a 4.5-year resident of Ewing, I had no idea about it. My only question is: who do I contact to voice my opposition? Is it Ewing Township? Is it the Falls Township Board of Supervisors? Is it an agency in Pennsylvania? Is it my state rep? All of the above? Jennifer Ljungberg, Ewing

Rob Anthes responds: You’re not alone, Jennifer. While reporting this story, I found that most people in Mercer County had no idea about the Elcon facility. It's mostly been folks in Burlington and Bucks counties speaking up about it. So, it may be worth calling town hall to say you are concerned about the toxic waste facility in Falls Township. The town most likely will pass your concern on to your state representatives, as the state has more power than the towns do. The good news is the two people who represent Ewing in the state Assembly are already on the case. Both Anthony Verrelli and Verlina Reynolds-Jackson have brought the issue up in the Assembly, but their bill has been stuck in committee for months. I'm sure their office would be happy to hear from residents about this, and your calls might redouble the Assembly's efforts on the Elcon issue. You can also go directly to one of the parties responsible for deciding the project’s fate. PADEP has opened a public comment period on Elcon, beginning June 1 and run-
ning until July 15. The agency will review and address each comment it receives in a public document. All comments should be emailed to RA-EPHWELCON@pa.gov. Thank you for writing such a thorough piece about Elcon (“Our new toxic neighbor,” May 2019) that I just found and read! I wish something as thorough as this would be written in Bucks County media, too. However, I realize there is only one Rob Anthes. Joe Smith, Langhorne This (“Our new toxic neighbor,” May 2019) is a very long, very detailed, and very infuriating expose. The fact that PADEP doesn't take environmental risks into account when considering whether to approve or reject projects like this is shocking. So is the fact that New Jersey residents who will be at risk everywhere in a 30-mile radius have no voice in PADEP's decision. Rob Benjamin, via the Hamilton Post Facebook page

1. FIRST THINGS FIRST: Choosing a dentist, and trusting them to care for your happy, healthy smile is an important decision most families make. First things that come to mind are if you are adequately covered should you need any dental work. Selecting a dental insurance plan which has a wider selection of dentists can already set you far ahead. Certain plans limit acceptance at a specific dental practice, generally known as DMO or HMO plans. In comparison, PPO plans allow patients to visit any doctor who is in their network. In addition, most such plans also have out of network benefits, ultimately allowing patients to virtually see any dentist practice. When in an emergency, it is utmost important to have as much flexibility in who you can see for urgent care, so making the right decisions for yourself and your family are critical. Planning ahead, making the right choices and investing wisely in the selection of coverage that your family needs can yield great success later. 2. EMERGENCIES ON VACATION: Spring time is here, and soon you will be travelling for your next vacation. While away from home, it is important to be ready to handle any dental emergency. Chances are that travelling out of state, your insurance may have limitations, and it may be harder to find a dentist that can provide care. Supplemental dental insurance for travel can be a way to be prepared, and it is good to check out any dentists which accept your supplementary insurance should the need arise. However, having your family dentist reachable via online, phone or social media can be a great way to still get some advice, or tips while travelling. Keep your dentist’s emergency line handy, and be sure to like their social media pages so they know you well in advance when you need
them! Packing a small medical kit with some pain medicines, and gum ointment may help as an urgent palliative resource.
3. DENTIST VS EMERGENCY ROOM: A natural first response to any dental emergency is to call your family dentist for an urgent appointment. Most dental practices have limited office hours, with no late evening hours or weekend clinical days. This limits the availability of such practice to patients when they need them the most. Often, patients may call around for any other dentists who may accommodate them. In most situations, the hospital emergency room is the only way to seek urgent help. While helpful in terms of receiving urgent palliative care, most emergency rooms do not staff a dentist. After an expensive visit and long wait – patients are most certainly recommended to see a dentist as a follow-up for treatment. Academy Dental is open 7 days a week, which offers patients in Hamilton, Robbinsville, Lawrenceville and surrounding areas a great advantage to seek urgent care. Offering online appointment scheduling 24 hours a day provides great mental peace to patients that they have a secured spot to see the dentist at their earliest convenience. We welcome patients to check our extremely high levels of service and care, and benefit from our expanded coverage.
4. SECRET SAUCE (CONTINUING CARE): Routine dental visits are key, and can help detect problems early so they can be addressed. Continuing care is the most reliable way to stay abreast of your oral health, and be informed about any concerns that need immediate attention. Dr. Thind provides her patients counselling on how to care for their teeth in between their regular, bi-annual visits. Her team of excellent Dental Hygienists are caring, and ensure all patients are provided with the same, gentle care and attention. Getting healthy and staying healthy prevents undue stress and expense that a dental emergency visit may involve. Regular appointment reminders from Academy Dental via text, phone and Birthday Postcards provide our patients a fairly easy way to be connected, and attend routine checkups. Check with your family dentist if they are also setup to keep yourself informed and are vested in your healthy smiles the same way as you are!

ing and recklessly stored prescription drugs, dirty cages and bowls and a lack of records and procedures. It noted that a cat that had been reported as euthanized had also been recorded as being reclaimed—alive—by its owners after the alleged euthanization date. The state report spurred the Hamilton Township council to start an investigation of its own. Council created a subcommittee consisting of Schirmer and Tighe, and tasked it with finding out what was happening at the shelter and why. In August 2018, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Humane Law Enforcement Unit began an investigation into the shelter after two complaints were referred to it by the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice. The division is part of the state Attorney General’s Office. Then, in October 2018, the state Department of Health re-inspected the shelter. DOH found 10 areas of concern—including how records were kept at the facility, as well as how it administered euthanasia. Following the inspection, the state issued the shelter a satisfactory rating on Nov. 14, 2018, only to rescind it five days later. DOH, in a statement to the Hamilton Post, said the “satisfactory rating was issued in error and was rescinded.” DOH inspected the shelter for a third time on Jan. 15, 2019, this time granting a satisfactory rating that stuck. Then, months passed until the flurry of activity in May. *** Nearly 45 minutes into an interview, Kelly Yaede decided to throw caution to the wind. She was in the midst of laying out the conspiracy she says has been engineered to oust her as mayor. As she arrived at the heart of her theory, Yaede shed her typically measured cadence. Her voice became more forceful, angry even. “It’s been widely known in Republican and Democratic circles that Murphy and Martin are tied at the hip,” she said. “And that the attorney general’s office was involved in the charges against two

Hamilton Mayor Kelly Yaede has long positioned herself as an advocate for the township animal shelter, even taking dogs out of the shelter for her Day with the Mayor program. Many of the dogs wound up finding homes after their day at town hall, Yaede said, including Tullula (center, in right photo) who former county executive Bob Prunetti adopted “within three minutes.” gentlemen. However, no charges, no investigation, no follow-up inspections for the City of Trenton.” She continued: “The only difference is that Hamilton Township is run by the Republicans. There is a significant difference in the allocation of justice here.” Yaede has reason to feel besieged, just weeks before the first primary challenge of her political career. She insists she has done anything wrong, and said the timing of the criminal charges and the investigative report aren’t a coincidence. Yaede believes, instead, that Gov. Phil Murphy has been pulling the strings on a plan that spans multiple state departments, several Mercer County municipalities and the Hamilton Township Democratic Committee—all to open the door for Hamilton Township council president Jeff Martin, a candidate Yaede says the governor has handpicked to serve as mayor. Yaede has turned to this theory as both a defense from the allegations and an explanation for why they surfaced when they did. The conspiracy—and Yaede’s response to it—extended across the county and the state. She believes the state interfered so that a May 2017 complaint investigation at the Trenton Animal Shelter resulted in no criminal charges despite revealing similar violations to Hamilton’s. (The city was under state supervision at the time, Yaede said. However, Murphy could not have been involved since the governor in May 2017 was Republican Chris Christie.) She believes the charges against Bencivengo and Plunkett are the result of the state attorney general putting pressure on the county prosecutor. She has asked the U.S. Attorney’s Office to investigate, writing a letter complete with nine bullet points Yaede believes make her case. A USAO spokesman confirmed they
have received Yaede’s request, but could not “confirm nor deny the existence of any investigation.” Both Martin and Murphy have denied Yaede’s claims. “There is not one bit of truth to what is contained in the letter,” Martin said in a statement. “This is a desperate and delusional action to avoid accountability for her mismanagement of Hamilton’s animal shelter.” Murphy spokesman Matthew Saidel said Yaede’s accusations are “completely false.” “The Governor had no role in the nomination process,” Saidel said. Yaede also believes the conspiracy extends to other Democrats closer to home. She said she has learned about a secret agreement between the Hamilton Democrats and EASEL Animal Rescue League, which operates Ewing’s municipal animal shelter. Wendy Sturgeon, a Hamilton Democratic Committee member, recently left her job as EASEL executive director. “We have been informed that there was an agreement with a Democratically run rescue that if they supported a councilman in an election, the shelter would be theirs,” Yaede said. “I cannot say any more about that, but it’s why we asked the U.S. Attorney to review the matter.” Sources said that Yaede is serious about the alleged deal between the Democrats and EASEL, with the Hamilton Township administration going as far as to file two public records requests with the Ewing Township municipal government for information pertaining to EASEL and its affiliation with the Ewing animal shelter. All the attention unnerved Karen Azarchi, the president of EASEL’s board of directors, who said her organization has no interest in taking on a different municipal shelter. EASEL’s long-term goal is to
get out of the municipal game altogether, she said, and build its own shelter. “We have no eyes on the shelter,” Azarchi said. “We do not want the shelter in Hamilton. We are just fine with our shelter here. We have zero, zero,
zero, zero, zero interest. I can’t make it clearer. We just want people to stop using our name in connection with what’s going on in Hamilton.” Yaede expected the denials, but See SHELTER, Page 14

SHELTER continued from Page 13 doesn’t accept them. The controversy hits Yaede close to her heart. She has long been a booster of the Hamilton Animal Shelter, using her political positions to promote drives for blankets and donations. She once delivered a State of Hamilton address while holding a shelter dog. She frequently sent out press releases for her Day with the Mayor campaign, where she would pull a dog out of the shelter and bring it to work with her for the day. Many of those dogs wound up being adopted. Perhaps because Yaede’s pet cause now has become the biggest threat to her political career, her anger is palpable. The animal shelter controversy clearly has wounded Yaede, but she says she hasn’t taken the attacks personally. “I’m in politics,” Yaede said. “I’m fair game. The quote I say during every campaign is, ‘I have thick skin. You can take a shot at me. But don’t touch my dog.’” She laughed at this. But her laughter ended with the kind of sudden stop that hinted maybe the threat she made wasn’t so much of a joke. *** The many investigations into the Hamilton animal shelter in the past year have found plenty of issues at the facility, none stoking emotions as much as the shelter’s euthanasia policies. The state inspection found that several shelter employees were not trained in proper euthanasia techniques and that the shelter did not have a scale capable of accommodating large dogs. Shelter employees interviewed by the council sub-

An animal’s weight determines the proper dosage for the euthanasia solution used at the shelter. The township also came under fire for its policy of accepting animals and eutha-

nizing them at the request of the animals’ owner. Plunkett testified to the council subcommittee that when an owner would bring in a pet to be euthanized, the shelter employees did not question the person. The council subcommittee report also said shelter staff did not review paperwork to determine the surrendered animals’ health, leading the subcommittee to suggest it is possible that healthy animals may have been euthanized after being surrendered by owners who merely no longer wanted a pet. Plunkett also testified that he was aware of the state law requiring all animals be held for seven days before euthanization. Despite this, many of the owner-surrender euthanizations would occur immediately upon surrender. The township would charge $100 for this, something Yaede called a “service” for residents. The shelter has since ceased this practice, although Yaede said she has had many residents ask her to bring it back. Schirmer, for her part, said she has not heard any residents request the return of the owner-surrender euthanizations at the shelter. Yaede defended the policy, saying the issue is with the state law requiring animals be held seven days. “I believe from the feedback I receive from the citizens of Hamilton Township, they ask me to explain the reasoning why if someone brought their pet in who obviously their health has deteriorated as to stop eating, stop drinking and unable to hold their body weight, why these pets are made to suffer for seven additional days,” Yaede said. “Residents have said that practice is in itself inhumane.” The state agrees. State law has a stipulation requiring an animal who might be sick to be seen by a veterinarian. If the veterinarian determines the animal should be euthanized, the law allows it before the seven-day hold has expired. This did not happen in Hamilton.
“She admits to that seven-day period where they were euthanizing owner-surrenders,” Schirmer said. “It’s OK if you want to euthanize owner-surrenders, but if you have a sick animal that’s brought before you, you need to make sure it actually is sick. Consult with a veterinarian. Document what you have done. And if that animal is in bad shape and needs to be put down, then that’s OK. You can document that. But they weren’t doing any of that.” The county prosecutor’s investigation found that 329 animals—236 cats and 93 dogs—were euthanized in a 34-month period before the state-mandated waiting period expired. Among those animals were 46 cats discovered in May 2017 at a home occupied by a hoarder. Bencivengo told the council subcommittee the cats had upper respiratory infections and ringworm and “were in bad shape.” The investigations discovered that the township also violated a second state law, one that requires the shelter to be inspected annually. Typically, the municipal health officer inspects the shelter. Last summer, it was revealed that Plunkett, Hamilton’s health officer, had never inspected the Hamilton shelter or asked someone else to do it in his stead, believing it to be a conflict of interest since the shelter also fell under his responsibilities as director of health and recreation. The council subcommittee report said Plunkett seemed unconcerned about the lack of inspections at the shelter, only raising concern about inspections and lack of standard operating procedures once interest in the shelter and its issues increased. Yaede said she was not aware of Plunkett’s stance until after the July 2018 state inspection, and that the administration has since considered moving the shelter under the responsibilities of the business administrator to avoid future issues. The council subcommittee report
included plenty of other recommendations for the administration to consider. It said the shelter needs better organization and structure, better supervisory leadership, upgraded policies and procedures and must continue to prohibit owner-surrenders and the use of euthanasia. It also recommended separating the health director and health officer roles, as well as the animal control officer and animal shelter manager/staff roles. Bencivengo and Plunkett both pulled one of those double duties. Yaede said many changes already have been made, some as far back as last July. The township hired a new supervising veterinarian for the shelter, Dr. Marian Boden, in the fall of 2018. The shelter currently does not have a manager, following Bencivengo’s retirement in March, but Yaede said the township is in the process of hiring someone. The existing staff and volunteers have been running the shelter in the interim. The shelter previously had an exclusive relationship with the AFEW rescue group, but Yaede said the township has started relationships with other animal rescue and shelter groups. It has done this, she said, by sending an email every Friday listing the animals available at the shelter. The township also has purchased and implemented a new recordkeeping system called PetPoint at the shelter. “As we stated last year, the deficiencies at the animal shelter were addressed,” Yaede said. “Promptly addressed. And they do not want to acknowledge that. That report showed they did not acknowledge that improvements were made at the shelter. And the day the report was issued, it was moot.
They’re aware. The residents have connected the dots. They see the politics. They see that politics in Hamilton has changed for the worse. And they are not pleased.” Schirmer said, despite the mayor’s claims that things have changed at the shelter, the township has yet to provide proof of the shelter improvements. She said PetPoint was only recently put into place, and only after the administration installed a different system that didn’t work the way the shelter needed it to. The system provided no audit trail and was unable to be secured. Schirmer also said the subcommittee doesn’t know if PetPoint’s implementation is finished because the administration hasn’t responded to requests for information. Schirmer said Yaede and her administration worked hard to obstruct the work of the subcommittee, frequently not replying to requests for information and cancelling interviews at the last minute. The subcommittee eventually subpoenaed administration officials in order to compel them to testify, a move Schirmer said was absolutely necessary for the investigation to proceed. Yaede, however, called it unneeded political theater. She said the council subcommittee conducted the investigation unevenly, not always including the township clerk and interviewing some employees in public and others in private. She believes it’s all part of the scheme to remove her from the mayor’s office. “Their investigation, the way it was conducted, without a deadline, without consistent reports,” Yaede said. “It’s too much of a coincidence not to unequivocally say that politics has played a role.”
The township would charge $100 to immediately euthanize an animal surrendered by its owner. Mayor Kelly Yaede called this a “service.” It’s also a violation state law.

PRIMARY continued from Page 16 ter and improved the facility. She has asked the U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Jersey to look into the criminal charges that authorities have brought, and raised concerns about possible “political considerations” by the state attorney general’s office in the case. Hamilton is one of the few municipalities in Mercer County, an otherwise deep blue Democratic stronghold in the state, where Republicans hold any political power. In 2015, the year Yaede was reelected, Republican swept the municipal races. But their grip on the municipal government has been weakening. Democrats won all three council races in 2017 against a Yaede-backed slate. Also last year, U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-4) was re-elected, despite losing in Hamilton, a community that is in his district. Meanwhile, Martin, 35, can watch the Republican civil war from a safe distance. He has no opponent in the Democratic primary and enjoys wide support among top Democrats. Party leaders including Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes and others stood at Martin’s side when he announced his bid for mayor. “I’ve seen Hamilton become stale under our current mayor,” he said at his announcement in January. “I’ve seen it slowly deteriorate because of a lack of leadership, a lack of vision, a lack of accountability and a lack of follow through.” Martin said that as mayor, he would concentrate on redevelopment as “a priority.” He criticized a plan to put a warehouse on land located across from the

train station, something he called a “waste of prime space” for the community. “That location can be an economic driver for Hamilton, not only in the near future but the long-term future being both across from the train station and right off 295,” he said. On other issues, he said that as neighboring Robbinsville grows, that community should “pay their fair share of what they owe the town” for being a customer of Hamilton’s sewer utility. He said the quality of the water from Trenton remains a concern for residents. As for other public policy, he declined to say whether he supports making Hamilton a sanctuary city, where local police limit their cooperation with federal immigration authorities. That’s a step officials in other Democratic-controlled towns around the state and the country have taken. “I’m for Hamilton being a fair and a welcoming environment for anybody who wants to come inside Hamilton,” he said. Martin, a native of Edison, is a relative newcomer to Hamilton, a town he has

lived in for about five years. “He needs a GPS to get around Hamilton. I do not,” Yaede said. For his part, Martin, a veteran of the Air Force, called it “disingenuous” for her to raise that issue when “I went out and served our country for four years.” “I think it’s a slap in the face to anybody who chooses to raise their hand and go serve their country, that they weren’t in the town longer,” said Martin, elected to council in 2017. “So I think people knew that about me two years ago and elected me and had zero concerns with that. And I think people will do the same thing this November as well.” For Yaede, she said what gives her the “most trepidation” about a potential Martin victory would be the influence of Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, “on this great town.” “The political machine will run Hamilton Township,” she said. “Our Hamilton values of what we know and love about this community will be lost. You will have Gov. Murphy run everything in this town.” “I doubt Phil Murphy even knows who I am,” said Martin, whose wife, Scarlett Rajski, was Murphy’s director of appointments and now works as the New Jersey Schools Development Authority. “I’d be concerned about the mayor continuing to follow Chris Christie’s playbook on increasing debt, on bullying and intimidating people as a leadership style.” *** At the moment, Democrats hold three out of the five seats on the Council. Incumbent Republicans Ralph Mastrangelo and Ileana Schirmer declined to run for reelection this year. Henderson is running with council candidates Cynthia Simon and Bill Argust. Yaede’s slate includes former Democratic Councilman Vincent Capodanno and Richard M. Balgowan. Argust, a businessman, said he sees a

lack of leadership in the municipal government. “Real change really starts with the people,” said Argust, 66, the owner of an executive recruiting and consultation business. “It’s Simon got to start with people that have a background in solving problems, how to approach a problem.” As she campaigns, Simon said she is talking to voters about fiscal responsibility in government. “I’m all about how we spend our dollars,” said Simon, 50, employed by Educational Testing Service. Simon said that when it comes to developing the town, she has grown tired of seeing open space being sacrificed to make way for a warehouse. GOP council candidate Tony Celentano, 77, has spent five nonconsecutive terms on the Hamilton Board of Education. He said the township Council needs people who can work together and “know how to agree to disagree in order to move forward.” He stressed having a “common ground where people start to talk to each other.” In terms of staffing municipal government, the town needs to bring in people with experience and who can do the job, he said. He declined to say if he is supporting Yaede or Henderson for mayor. Celentano, however, has worked with Henderson previously in launching a charter school in Hamilton and advised an attempt by Henderson to launch a charter STEM school in the township. Celentano also, in a press release announcing his 2019 candidacy, took a shot at “party insiders” who he said prevented him from running for council in the past. For his part, Celentano predicted dire consequences for his party if Democrats sweep the mayor and council races this year. “Because if we don’t win something, it’s over,” he said. “They won’t get anybody elected here for years just like at the county level. You can’t get a freeholder elected that’s a Republican.” See PRIMARY, Page 20

PRIMARY continued from Page 18 Capodanno, 71, served on council from 2000 to 2004. Having switched parties this year, he described himself as “very independent.” “And if Republican have really good ideas and they’re doing the right thing, I’ll agree with them. If the Democrats have really good ideas and they’re doing the right thing, I’ll agree with them,” he said. He left the Democratic Party, he said, because the party has gone “too far left.” Though he and Yaede had their past differences, Capodanno said he’s come to know her and finds her “very understanding” and “not controlling.” “And I like the way she runs the town,” he said. If elected to council, he said he would not vote to raise taxes. He calls this election “a tipping point” for Hamilton. He said Martin is “way too far to the left” and has a way of not revealing where he stands on an issue. Balgowan, 65, used to work for the township as its director of public works from 2004 to 2011 serving under former mayors Glen Gilmore and John Bencivengo. He has never run for political office before. “I’m not a politician,” he said. “I really like the things that Mayor Yaede is doing. The direction she’s going in, I think it’s a great thing for Hamilton Township.” At one point, he said that Bencivengo, who was convicted in 2012 in a federal corruption case and served time in prison, did a “good job” as mayor.
Bruno
Papero
“I just think he made a really bad decision,” he said of the ex-mayor. Looking to the future of the community, he said “we’ve got to get a grasp on spending.” He stressed making government run more efficiently and felt there were ways Hamilton can work with neighboring towns, such as providing building inspections. Yet the feud within the Republican Party appears as though it will last beyond the primary, regardless of who wins. Argust said he would not vote for Yaede in November if she beats Henderson. Asked if she could support a split Republican ticket in November, Simon said “that’ll be a really tough pill to swallow.” “That’s a difficult question to answer right now,” Balgowan said. On the Democratic side, council candidates Pat Papero, Nancy Phillips and JoAnne Bruno are running for two seats. Papero and Phillips are on the same slate as Martin. Phillips, 43, is a teacher in the South Brunswick school district. Papero, 42,
is a Mercer County sheriff’s officer. They are running for public office for the first time. For Phillips, she had gotten involved in advocacy Phillips work on behalf of one of her daughters, who was diagnosed with a rare disease when she was about 18 months old. “I feel like I have a good background of advocating for those who can’t speak for themselves,” she said. “And I want to offer that to our residents and do everything I can to help them.” Papero serves as a PBA delegate and also sits on the Public Employment Relations Committee, a state board that Gov. Murphy put him on. He contrasted his experience in law enforcement with what what he sees in municipal government in Hamilton. “As a cop, you have to be transparent and you have to be accountable for the decisions you make,” he said. “And I think that’s how you gain the people’s trust. I think with some of the decisions that have been made, there hasn’t been any transparency. There hasn’t been any accountability.” Picking up on that theme, Phillips recalled getting a letter in the mail about potential lead contamination in her drinking water. She called the township, including the mayor’s office, and got no
response. “And again, that was kind of my beginning of starting to get frustrated with how our local government was responding to its residents’ concerns,” she said. Papero is a dog handler in the Sheriff’s K-9 unit. Of the township animal shelter, he stopped short of saying whether the facility should be privatized. “I think we have very capable people working in Hamilton,” he said. “I think they need the tools and I think they need the leadership to allow them to do it.” “I don’t know that privatizing is the right answer,” Phillips said. “You need good leadership.” Bruno, a retired teacher who declined to give her age, rounds out the field on the Democratic side. She lost an earlier bid for council, in 2015, and will run off the party line in the primary. She faults the Yaede administration’s approach to economic development. She said the community is 85 percent built out, with large numbers of vacant properties. “And instead of doing incentives to get these builders and developers to buy those properties and redevelop them, they’re buying up the green space,” she said. “Let’s get some people to redevelop the properties that are already there, that are already existing and, instead of them being eyesores, let’s make them into something.” For Hamilton’s youth, she said she supports the town building a youth center. “I don’t know how we would fund it,” she said. “There must be some grant money somewhere we could grab and make something like that happen.”

PADEP finds ‘deficiencies’ in toxic waste facility application By Rob Anthes ranthes@communitynews.org The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection came out against an application for a proposed toxic waste treatment facility in Bucks County May 15, saying it had “a number of outstanding deficiencies.” PADEP’s Notice of Intent to Deny comes after completing a 10-month technical review of materials submitted by the applicant, Israel-based Elcon Recycling Services. Elcon wants to build a facility in Falls Township that would store and treat nearly 200,000 tons per year of hazardous and residual waste. This includes mercury, lead, cadmium, benzine, vinyl chloride and 260 other chemicals. “After a rigorous review of the application, supplemental materials submitted by the company, and input from the public, DEP will not approve this application in its current form,” PADEP secretary Patrick McDonnell said in a statement. “Unless the company can address these outstanding deficiencies, DEP will have no choice but to move forward with a full application denial.” PADEP, in its statement, was careful to point out that a Notice of Intent to Deny is not a final decision by PADEP. Elcon still may submit materials to address the deficiencies cited by PADEP. But, with the review over, members of the public now also have an opportunity
to go on the record. A public comment period begins June 1 and runs until July 15, with PADEP required to acknowledge all comments its receives during the 45-day comment period. The agency will review and address each comment in a public document. All comments should be emailed to RA-EPHWELCON@pa.gov. The PADEP decision only applies to Elcon’s hazardous waste application. Elcon also has two additional applications for air quality and stormwater, which PADEP continues to review. In a document dated May 7, PADEP detailed 18 reasons why it could not accept Elcon’s hazardous waste application. Elcon’s miscues ranged from overstating the facility’s economic benefits to, in its plans, including buildings and infrastructure outside the site boundary. Of particular importance was PADEP’s discovery of an equivocation by Elcon regarding groundwater monitoring—company representatives had said Elcon would install a system to watch for accidental releases, but PADEP said the application stated Elcon would install groundwater monitoring only after a spill had already occurred. PADEP also dinged Elcon for being unclear in its application as to whether Elcon would accept certain types of waste, such as PCBs, at the Falls Township facility. PADEP’s announcement is the latest in a line of recent blows to the Elcon

HEAVIEST AIR POLLUTION IMPACT Proposed Elcon Plant Location
Pollutants can travel in the air as far as 30 miles, meaning a facility emitting in Falls Township could create pollution for all of Hamilton. proposal. The Falls Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to reject the proposal during a special meeting April 30, prompting a standing ovation from the residents who packed the meeting at Pennsbury High School West’s Keller Hall. That vote came on the heels of a March 26 unanimous decision from the Falls Township planning commission to not recommend plans for the Elcon facil-
ity. The planning commission does not have legal authority, but the Falls supervisor board does factor its recommendations into decisions. Public opinion has long been against the Elcon proposal, but the opposition became louder and larger after the Hamilton Post published an investigation into Elcon, its history and its Falls Township proposal last month. The Falls Township and PADEP decisions came after the article’s release, as did a May 7 Hamilton Township council resolution opposing the facility. Before the council vote, Hamilton was one of just two neighboring municipalities to not have passed a resolution against Elcon. Trenton is now the lone holdout. The Elcon proposal isn’t dead, though. The company’s Falls Township proposal has been denied by PADEP three times already, once in 2015 and twice in 2017. Like those times, Elcon once again will have a chance to revise and resubmit its applications. If Elcon receives the approvals it seeks, it would build a 70,000-squarefoot storage and treatment facility on a 33-acre plot of land on Dean Sievers Place. The plant would accept toxic waste from approximately 20 tanker trucks daily, carrying aqueous material from automotive shops, mining operations, pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturing plants. Elcon has said waste would come via truck only to Falls Township from 10 East Coast states.

Intercolliegate sports: Soccer Sports: Soccer, lacrosse Clubs: Yearbook, National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society, Art National Honor Society and Science National Honor Society Prior schooling: Sayen Elementary School, Reynolds Middle School Teacher who inspired me: Mrs. Gerstmann because she made an effort to get to know all of us personally and help us in our own individual ways. She taught us to look at life with an open mind and try things we were uncomfortable with. She pushed us all to do a little better and try a little harder, while making lessons fun and interesting. Favorite memory: Winning MCTs with my soccer team. Those girls were less like teammates and more like sisters.

Although a few of them stand out in my memory, I know that every one of my teachers has helped shape me into the person I am today. Favorite memory: Making states with the cross country team sophomore year. Not only did the guys team move on to states for the first time in years, but the girls team moved on, too. Achieving this made me feel as if I was a part of something bigger than myself and allowed me to gain a lot more school spirit.

Helping teach the new swimmers and watching their progress was always great. Best memory was probably placing second in the county for the 100 meter breaststroke. Having my family and team there to watch such a close race is something I will always remember.

Sunshine guides the way for ND’s Zingerman By Rich Fisher When Rachel Zingerman signed her letter of intent to play softball for the University of Rhode Island, someone should have been filming it for the next Hallmark Network movie. It was that touching. Long story short, Zingerman had an extremely close relationship with her dad, Neil, whose dream was to see her play Division I softball. Sadly, he passed away in Zingerman’s freshman year, after a lengthy illness and shortly before the Mercerville resident played her first season for Notre Dame High School. Through the help of travel coaches, current Irish head coach Marty Schafer and ND strength and conditioning coach John McKenna, Zingerman’s dream came true this year when she signed with URI. And Kathy Zingerman made it even more special. “The day of the signing my mom Notre Dame senior Rachel Zingerman uses a tattoo in memor y of her brought a necklace and it had my dad’s father, Neil, as daily motivation. (Photo by Rich Fisher.) fingerprint on it,” Rachel said. “It was like he’s still with me.

25 doubles, five triples, 11 homers and 82 runs scored. Is it any wonder Rams coach Bridget Hurlman revved up the welcome wagon? “It was the second place I visited other than Monmouth,” Zingerman said. “Going up there, there’s a click, and I felt that click immediately. I met coach Bridget right away, and she was just an angel. Hugged me right away, introduced me to all the players. It was that feeling I’d been waiting for. My mom looked at me and said, ‘This is it, isn’t it?’ I said ‘Yeah, definitely.’ I committed the day they offered me because I knew right away.” Much like she instantly knew she loved softball when she started playing T-ball at age 4. Her first travel team was the Nightmare, but she got cut from there when she was 10 and joined the South Jersey (now New Jersey) Gators. She soon got her revenge on the Nightmare. “The following year we played them and I hit a double off the fence and that’s when I knew I wanted to keep playing,” Zingerman said. “I wanted to prove them wrong.” Zingerman moved from Burlington County to Hamilton prior to her freshman year, and Neil got to see one of his wishes for her come true when she began classes at Notre Dame. But he would never see her play in the Irish uniform as he passed away that January.

McKenna became a devoted mentor, helping her with both weight training and spiritual support. McKenna runs Catholic Athletes for Christ and the ND Bible Study club, and Zingerman wanted to be part of it. “Before my dad passed, he started getting into God, practicing his faith,” she said. “I thought that was very important to keep going, spread it to my family and bring it to high school. Coach McKenna has been helping me with weightlifting and mental stuff. Without him, I honestly don’t know where I’d be mentally. He brought faith into my life, and I couldn’t thank him any more for that.” Zingerman fought through her grief to hit .364 with two home runs as a freshman, and a stellar high school career began. “I remember our number one goal was to get me to a Division I college,” said Zingerman, who was coached by her dad up to the year he died. “We worked all those years for it and we also had a goal, where he wanted me to be one of the top players in the state for high school. He wanted me to have firstteam All-State and have fun with the game. His dream was to see me in a Notre Dame uniform. Every single day I play for him. (His passing) makes me want to do all this for him.” Zingerman eventually got a tattoo on her right upper arm that says “Sunshine” above an illustration of a rose. Neil’s nickname growing up was Sunshine, and he got a rose tattoo in honor of Zingerman. “It’s comforting now that I have it on me,” she said. “Every day with sunshine. Thank God I had all those times with my dad.” Her softball career hit a speed bump as a sophomore when she suffered her hand injuries. She was cleared in the middle of the season but did not want to risk anything too soon and finally returned toward the end of the year. Zingerman wanted to be healthy for travel ball, since that’s where colleges recruit from.
She returned with a vengeance as a junior, hitting .466 with 20 RBI. This year, her power has surged. After hitting three homers her first three seasons, she has eight this year thanks to weight training with McKenna and changing her swing to be quicker through the zone. “She and Coach McKenna are best buds,” Schafer said. “This is the first year we’ve ever had a Catholic Athletes for Christ for the softball team. Rachel is a team leader for that. Coach took her under his wing right after everything happened. What she does in the weight room is the same thing she does out on the field. She’s relentless. Coach McKenna refers to her and (former lacrosse star) Dina Cifelli as two of the top female athletes he’s ever coached down there.” Zingerman is more than just a softball player. Aside from being a quality student, she is in Notre Dame’s Service Program, where she does such activities as going to food pantries, teaching young children and visiting nursing homes. “I definitely get that from my mom and dad,” Zingerman said. “My mom has always been there for me and is always giving back to people in need. She’s just awesome. I need to spread it along.” One of the things Kathy gave to her daughter were tickets to see the her favorite baseball team for her birthday. About the only quirky character trait in an otherwise quality young woman is that Zingerman is a die-hard Kansas City Royals fan. “Ever since I was 14,” she said proudly. “That’s when I started practicing in left field, and I saw Alex Gordon make a diving play in left, and I was hooked. He was my inspiration. He wore number four and that’s what I wear in travel. I flew out there for my 16th birthday just to see them. I toured the stadium, went to two games. She bought me tickets to meet some of my favorite players.” She did not, however, meet Gordon. “No,” she sighed. “Maybe one day.” If that day comes, it sounds like a Hallmark sequel.

McGovern twins make Steinert lacrosse, each other better By Rich Fisher Look no further than Steinert High School to find one of the most prolific twin brother scoring tandems in Mercer County, as Evan and Tommy McGovern combined for 63 goals and 17 assists this spring. OK, while that may not be fake news, it could probably be construed as misleading news. The two did amass those numbers together. But of those totals, Tom garnered two assists and did not have a goal. And both of his helpers went to Evan. Then again, his job is to defend, not score. In that sense, both players were valuable assets to a Steinert team that tied the school record for victories during a 10-8 season. In the process, Evan set the Spartan mark for most goals in a season. “They’re at different ends of the field and they’re very different as far as personality goes too,” coach Bob Ziegler said. “But they’ve been contributors since day one. Tommy has started every game and Evan has gotten in every game, he’s been a three-year starter and played a lot as a freshman. They’ve been a great asset the last four years to have. They complement each other very well.” The brothers come from an athletic family. Their father, Joe, was a slick fielding shortstop for McCorristin High (now Trenton Catholic Academy) and
Trenton State College (now College of New Jersey), while their mom, Marianne, played softball. Sister Keara swam, played field hockey and dabbled in lacrosse, but the brothers joke she was not an influence where lax is concerned. “We’ve got her in athletics, but she’s got us in intelligence,” Evan said with a laugh. Unlike their parents, the boys grew disinterested with playing on the diamond and were looking for more action. “We kind of got tired of the whole baseball thing,” Tommy said. “We wanted to do something new.” “It was way too slow,” Evan added. “It was getting to the point where little league was about to end, and we just decided to try something new. We saw lacrosse, decided to try it. We went from there, played every now and then, then we started to get into it more.” The brothers began recreation play with the Hamilton Falcons before moving to the Allentown Dragons for two years. Interestingly, they never played travel but were set on playing in high school. Upon making the Steinert varsity, Tommy made an immediate impact and started defensively. “Ever since I started, I just loved playing defense,” he said. “I don’t know why.

Tommy did not score a point his first two years but remained solid in the back. He had his best statistical season as a junior with four goals, four assists and 24 ground balls. Meanwhile, Evan was getting the headlines with his scoring exploits but there was no jealousy. “I don’t really care too much, I just like seeing him do well,” Tommy said. Evan had just two goals and three assists while seeing moderate playing time as a freshman. Conner Braddock, whose record he broke, was the big scorer back then and Evan watched and learned. “I definitely picked some things up from other teammates,” he said. Evan had played midfield throughout his rec career and also during his first two seasons with the Spartans. He upped his scoring to 16 goals and 16 assists as a sophomore and after being moved to attack as a junior, tallied 36 goals and 22 assists. “My sophomore year I would come in on offense as a midfielder but I would still play behind the goal,” he said. “I just liked it better playing attack.

He broke Braddock’s record on May 6 with his 59th goal in a loss to West Windsor-Plainsboro South. “I’m very shocked I was able to do that,” he said. “I had no idea I would be even close to that. It’s crazy. It’s great, I love it.” Tommy, naturally, was proud of his brother. “We’re very close, we’ve always been close to each other,” Evan said. “Yeah, we always hang out together,” Tommy said, adding with a smile, “It’s hard not to.” They also ply their trade against each other. Being that one is on offense and the other is defense, they make for natural workout partners. “Yeah we go at it in practice,” Evan said. “Sometimes we go in the backyard. They’re kind of friendly, but sometimes not so much.” Tommy grinned when those encounters are brought up. “It’s intense,” he said. “Sometimes we go a little easy, sometimes we turn it up. Tempers flare, we get in a little argument, curse each other out and stuff. But nothing too big.” The bottom line is, it improves both of their games.
“Mutually, we just make each other better,” Tommy said. Evan agreed, saying, “I think it helps a lot. He’s really hard to get past for me. When I try to dodge him, he knows what I do with pretty much everything.” With their high school careers ended, the two will move on to play with Mercer County Community College. Because they did not play travel, they were not seen by many recruiters. “They actually just won the regional championship,” Evan said. “We were looking at other colleges and thinking it’s a lot of money, especially for both of us to go to college because it’s double everything. So we just decided it would probably be easier. And we didn’t know exactly what we wanted. Plus the Mercer coach (Rob Siris) saw us and reached out to us.” The brothers are hoping a successful career at MCCC could lead to a fouryear school. “It’s gonna be great,” Tommy said. “We’re gonna be a whole lot better.” He then turned to Evan with a playful smirk and added, “Just don’t get on my nerves too much.”

Wright jumps into the Hamilton West record book By Rich Fisher Sometimes it’s the one who arrives late to the party, who ends up being the life of it. Isjae Wright is a little like that for the Hamilton West track and field team. The senior did not start competing in the sport until her freshman year and did not start jumping until the spring of her sophomore year. Since then, all she has done is set school records for both the indoor and outdoor triple jump and long jump, win the Mercer County triple jump championship this spring with a mark that qualified for nationals, and she also qualified for nationals with the Hornets’ sprint medley relay team. Oh, and she also has a 3.8 grade-point average and will compete for the Rider track team next year after getting a substantial academic scholarship. Asked what she had say about Wright, Hornets head coach Danielle Grady smiled. “I have a lot to say,” Grady said. “This young lady started off freshman year just out to do something different, just to try something. She had a lot of potential in her but she was very scared to try to do different things. We had to break her out of her box.” Translation: Wright was OK with the running events, but did not want to try jumps. She wasn’t taking it all that serious. Unlike her coach, the soft-spoken
Wright does not have a lot to say about herself. She is an action-first kind of girl. “My friend was doing track, so I just decided to come out,” Wright said. “I thought it might be fun to get in shape.” For a sport? “No,” she said. “Just in general.” Wright was doing all right in sprints but was finally encouraged to try jumping during her 10th-grade spring season. “I had strong legs so they thought I should try jumping so I tried it,” she said. But did she like it? “Uh uh,” she said, shaking her head no. “It finally got more enjoyable once I started learning technique. Once you learn technique you just start to get better and better.” Hornet jumps coach Gerry Van Slooten was impressed the first time he saw her jump. It came during a dual meet with Steinert. “I remember the first meet she ever jumped in,” Van Slooten said. “I really didn’t know who she was. She had just come off two races, and I said, ‘Are you OK to jump?’ She didn’t really say much, but she went out and won long jump and triple jump in her first time out.” Seeing that he had raw talent to mold, Van Slooten went to work and Wright began to improve. In last year’s Mercer meet, she finished second in the triple and fourth in the long. She then took fourth in the Central Jersey Group III meet in triple jump. She qualified

This past winter, Wright won the Princeton Invitational in long jump, and the Lavino Relays, Mercer County meet and Princeton Invitational Series in triple. She set school indoor records in the long (16-9) and triple (36-3.5) at Lavino. Highlights this spring, entering the Central Jersey Group III meet on May 24-25, was a school-record long jump of 17-6 in taking first at the Mercer Coaches Classic, and a school record 38-5 in triple jump while winning the Mercer County meet. She also won both jumps at the East Brunswick Invitational, took second in both events in the Mercer Coaches Classic and second in long at the county meet. Asked what she was proudest of up to that point, the woman of few words said, “Jumping a 38, I never thought I’d do that. The goal was to get to nationals in one of the two, and I did it with that.” Van Slooten feels her athletic ability and inner desire is what makes Wright so special. “She is shy, and it took her a little bit to try jumping,” he said. “But she Hamilton West senior Isjae Wright always had the competitive fire.

been jumping in Mercer County all year, and the look on her face was not one of defeat. A lot of people would come in and go, ‘Oh, where did this girl come from?’ and they’d get all worried. You just saw her staring at the runway determined she was gonna win, and she attacked.” Grady feels the only person who can get to Wright is Wright herself. “I have to say she’s a different breed,” the coach said. “She’s very quiet and very hard on herself. When she doesn’t do well she doesn’t take it well, and we have to pull her to the side and point out the good things she did. We have to work on a few things here and there, so she would hear that positive reinforcement, and it would definitely change her mind. It’s gonna be hurtful to have her go because I can put her in anything. I can put her in the four by one, the four by two, the SMR, anything that I need her in.” Heading into the state meets, Wright was asked what her goal was. “Just to PR,” she said. What about advancing? “If I PR, I’ll advance,” she said with a shrug. Van Slooten marvels at how strong Wright is. During instances at practice where some girls might be wilting, she is starting to blossom. “She gets stronger and stronger,” he said. “She’ll come to the jumps after a 200. Most girls’ legs are dead and she doesn’t seem to get 100 percent of her energy until she’s run a couple hundreds, a couple twos and warmed up for a half hour. Any other girl you think is dead, that’s when she hits her peak.”
Wright admits to being somewhat surprised at her success, saying she never thought she would break a school record. Grady noted that Wright really started to get into it when success started to come. “Just from having that, she got her mind right,” Grady said. “She changed the way she ate, her mentality was right there. It was like ‘What do I need to do to get better?’” And when Van Slooten tells here what to do, she listens. “The funny thing with her is she wasn’t practicing as much as the other jumpers,” he said. “But if I tell her something, she goes home and thinks about it, all of a sudden she’ll be on the runway, and I’ll say, ‘When did you start pulling out in the back?’ She said, ‘You told me to do it.’ I’ve been telling everybody else all year to do it and I told her once and she makes the adjustments.” She will continue to adjust as she heads to Rider. She was looking into East Stroudsburg University as well but when the Broncs coach showed interest, she jumped at the chance to stay close to home and major in business (with hopes of going into human resources). Her strong grades and involvement in the student government and Key Club made her a nice student-athlete prospect for Rider. “She’s worried about working to the money she’ll still owe to go there,” Grady said. “Once she gets there and they see how good she is, they’ll pay the rest of it. We told her she’s gotta go to college. We’ll stand on the street corner with a bucket to get her the money!”

Nottingham ace ready to trade ballfield for boardroom By Rich Fisher When he’s not playing sports for Nottingham High School, senior Robbie Bennett works at Risoldi’s supermarket in Mercerville. It should come as no surprise that he is a cashier, since Bennett is looking toward a professional career predicated on “Show me the money.” He is headed for Hampton University in Virginia and is considering the five-year master’s program for business administration. “I want to be a sports agent,” he said. When reminded people blame sports agents for escalating ticket prices, he laughed. “I know, I know, but I don’t care,” he said. “I want to do something I’ll enjoy doing.” Along with getting his 20 percent? “Yeah I just want my cut,” he said with another chuckle. “But really, I like meeting new people and I think with that I’ll be able to network a lot too. I like to be able to talk to a whole bunch of people and learn new things. Meeting new people will teach me a whole bunch of new things.” When college starts, athletics end for Bennett, which is unfortunate. He has quietly been one of Nottingham’s steadiest athletes over the past several years but got lost in the shuffle of bigger things. He has played varsity football and baseball since his sophomore year. During that time, the Northstars basketball team won a state championship, the football team featured a record-setting rusher and the baseball
team had a slew of college players in the class in front of him. But Bennett has made his own little niche during that time. Although he did not hit for a high average his first two years in baseball, he was a steady outfielder and a valuable pinchrunner. This past fall, he had 26 tackles, four interceptions and four pass deflections as a cornerback. Once the season ended, he was coach Jon Adams’ nominee for Nottingham’s representative at the George Wah Scholar-Leader-Athlete Dinner sponsored by the Delaware Valley Chapter of the National Football Foundation. This spring he has been the baseball team’s most pleasant surprise, having emerged as Nottingham’s top pitcher through the start of the season. It is his first season as a varsity hurler after pitching 1.2 innings as a junior. On April 16, he fired a complete-game, threehitter in a 1-0 win over Princeton. On April 27, he allowed just two hits in a complete-game effort against Hamilton West. He has been the go-to guy for the Northstars, leading the team in innings pitched. “We’ve had some injuries and he stepped up,” coach Jim Maher said. “He’s been our number one, he pitched a great game against Notre Dame and lost 1-0. He pitched a tremendous game against Princeton. He’s kept us in every game.” Bennett pitched fairly extensively for HTRBA in little league, but did not throw in Babe Ruth and was behind a bevy of

good pitchers his first two years with Nottingham, including Nick Houghton (now at Monmouth). “I really didn’t have much experience,” Bennett said. “Maybe one or two games last year that didn’t mean anything. I know I’ve been behind a lot of good guys, some D-I guys, and I just had to wait my turn so I’ve just played outfield. This year I really had to take on a role.

him. It didn’t surprise me at all. He’s got a great curveball, his fastball is great, he hits his spot all the time.” Despite the fact Nottingham has lost more than it’s won for the first time in Bennett’s career, he is enjoying this season as much as any while playing with Baker and another long-time friend, Logan Barber. “I grew up with both of them playing football and baseball,” he said. “We just end up having a great time playing together. And maybe this year I have more of an impact and I can lead the team a little more with them because we’re the oldest on the team. We don’t have a choice, we have to step up to that goal.” He has certainly stepped up on the mound. Asked what he was expecting from Bennett, Maher admitted, “We really didn’t know.” “We always know when he threw bullpen he had a great curveball,” the coach said. “Last year, the couple times we used him he struggled a little bit. This year it’s all seemed to work. He threw well in the preseason. Last year he struggled with the curveball a little bit, this year he didn’t. His fastball’s been good. He competes. He’s a good football player. He’s the type of kid you want on the mound. He’s a leader. Just an all-around good kid.” He was good enough in football to draw interest from Division II and Division III programs, but had enough selfawareness to realize his commitment may not have been there. “For college sports you gotta really know you want to play,” Bennett said. “I wasn’t 100 percent sure, and I know if you’re not 100 percent sure; it’s not for you. It’s tough. So if I’m not sure; then I’m not doing it. I gotta focus on academics.” And focus, he does. Bennett has a 4.1 grade point average and is a member of the English and Spanish National Honor Society. At Nottingham, he is involved with Outreach for the Stars (which collects food and clothing and fundraises for needy families), Dunamis No Limit community service, Peer Leadership and Special Olympics football. He served as a speaker and participant in the school’s Black History Month and Spanish History Month. He was named one of the Northstars Unsung Heroes at the 12th Man TD Club, and Adams could not nominate him for the Wah scholarship award fast enough. “The thing that impresses me most about Robbie is his work ethic,” Adams said. “He keeps working hard no matter what the situation. This young man never missed a practice. He motivated, encouraged and even taught our younger players. He is a young man with impeccable character. He has a strong set of values he learned from his wonderful mother. His character has never been a question. I am very proud of the man that he is becoming. Robbie Bennett is a winner.” Adams isn’t the only coach who feels that way. “He’s a great kid, a great student,” Maher said. “His mom’s done a great job with him. Let’s put it this way. He’s not one of the ones I worry about.”

Nationally Recognized Trauma Care for More Than 20 Years Capital Health Reverified as Level II Trauma Center The Bristol-Myers Squibb Trauma Center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center (RMC) has been recertified as a Level II Trauma Center by the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). This achievement is the eighth verification for Capital Health since the first in 1998. The Center, also designated as a Level II Trauma Center by the New Jersey Department of Health, is one of only 10 designated trauma centers in New Jersey and the regional referral center for injured patients in Mercer County and adjacent parts of Somerset, Hunterdon, Burlington, and Middlesex counties as well as nearby areas of Pennsylvania. “The ACS is the largest association of surgeons in the world and an important advocate for all surgical patients,” said DR. DOMINICK EBOLI, director of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Trauma Center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center. “After a successful review of our performance and resources by nationally recognized trauma experts, this recertification shows the residents of our community that when they need us most, Capital Health meets the highest standards for treating severely injured patients.”
The Full Spectrum of Care According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, injury is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Care provided in a trauma center decreases the chance of death following injury by 25 percent compared to care in general hospitals. In addition to providing the necessary resources for trauma care, ACS level II verification also means that centers like the BristolMyers Squibb Trauma Center address the needs of injured patients across the entire spectrum of care, providing patients at Capital Health Regional Medical Center with access to important injury prevention programs, prehospital care and transportation, acute hospital care, rehabilitation, and research. “Through programs and resources not available in most general hospitals—including 24hour immediate access to trauma surgeons and other specialists—we are able to provide comprehensive care that begins at the time of injury and continues through rehabilitation,” said DR. DENNIS QUINLAN, associate medical director of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Trauma Center.

UNDERSTANDING BRAIN TUMOR SYMPTOMS signs to guide you to the right plan for care Brain tumors, while relatively rare, do not discriminate, affecting men, women, and children across all age groups and ethnicities. And because the brain is the critical organ that controls all others, it’s important to recognize the signs that may suggest a brain tumor and discuss them with your health care team. “The many parts of the brain control different body functions, so symptoms will vary depending on tumor location, type, and size,” said DR. NAVID REDJAL, director of Neurosurgical Oncology at the Capital Health Center for Neuro-Oncology. “However, there are some common symptoms to watch for which, if ongoing, may indicate the presence of a brain tumor. Anyone experiencing one or more of them over an extended period of time should see their doctor to get an accurate diagnosis.”
COMMON BRAIN TUMOR SYMPTOMS INCLUDE: Headaches: A persistent, progressive pain that is different from a migraine, does not respond to over-the-counter pain medication (like aspirin or ibuprofen), gets worse when lying down, and may be accompanied by vomiting or changes in vision. Seizures: In some cases, a seizure may be the first indication that a person has a brain tumor. Focal Progressive Symptoms: Localized symptoms—such as hearing problems, difficulty walking or speaking, or feeling clumsy—can often help identify the location of the tumor. Mass Effect: Occurs when a brain tumor presses on surrounding normal tissue, causing nausea and vomiting, drowsiness, vision problems, headaches, and behavior changes. Sudden Personality Changes/Cognitive Changes/Memory Loss: A tumor may cause disruptions in normal brain function that lead to changes in a patient’s behavior and ability to reason, remember, and learn. “At the Center for Neuro-Oncology, our advanced technological resources and multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment are just as important as the compassionate and individualized care we provide,” said Dr. Redjal. “If a person experiences new symptoms or changes to existing ones, talking to your doctor is an important first step.” The Center for Neuro-Oncology, part of Capital Institute for Neurosciences and Capital Health Cancer Center, is a referral center for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer involving the brain and spine. The Center is housed in stateof-the-art facilities where patients have access to an experienced and caring team of physicians, nurses and staff who work closely with referring physicians to facilitate rapid and thorough evaluations and recommendations for patients and their families. In addition to providing advanced, neuro-oncologic and neuroscience care, the Center participates in clinical trials to help fight and find cures for cancer.

WHO WE ARE The Hamilton Partnership is a public-private partnership in the truest sense, where local government and business leadership can contribute their experience and work together in a single organization to carry out programs designed to aid needed industrial, commercial and economic development projects within Hamilton Township and facilitate overall business growth. The Hamilton Partnership accomplishes that by fostering co-operative working relationships among business leaders, community organizations and government so it can effectively advocate for the business community. Educational programs and networking events give members the opportunity to stay current on the latest issues facing business and provide a forum to share ideas. Think about it...Business and government are partners. We strive to be a productive conduit in the construction of a better relationship with our partner. Coach Vince Lombardi stated it simply: “Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.” Mindful Wellness held a grand opening open house recently at its 1800 Route 33 location in Hamilton.

COMPLEX SIMPLICITy
DNA kits: the perfect encapsulation of the 21st century By PeteR DABBene About 15 years ago, when DNA tests were mostly known as the bane of daddy deadbeats denying paternity on daytime talk shows, my wife and I participated in one of the first large-scale DNA studies, through National Geographic. Our motivation was partly curiosity, partly the knowledge that we’d be helping expand the understanding of genetics, and partly that we’d get a cool DVD on the subject. The kits were $99 each, and compared to what commercial DNA testing packages produce today, the mailed results were fairly primitive. Over time, technology advanced,
52Hamilton Post | June 2019
prices dropped, and a few months ago, for $59 each, we decided to take another shot at DNA analysis with Ancestry. com. After spitting into a tube—by far the most unpleasant part of the experience—we mailed our samples for processing. A few weeks later, I received my results (electronically this time), and began searching through Ancestry’s “DNA Matches” list. To create the list, the familial relationship between you and other individuals is predicted based on the amount of shared DNA, measured in centimorgans (cM). Ancestry correctly identified (with “extremely high confidence”) a relative as my first cousin, based on
1,027 cM shared. Second cousins were also identified, with 250-500 shared cM, while third and fourth cousins, most of whose names were completely unfamiliar to me, had less than 250 shared cM. Although Ancestry has the largest available DNA database, it only matches DNA results with people in its own system; the same policy applies for its bestknown rival, 23andMe. But for a wider pool of potential DNA matches, or just a second opinion, you can download and transfer your raw DNA data (not as difficult, or messy, as it sounds) to another DNA testing company— sometimes without charge, or after a small additional fee. My ethnicity estimates—those percentages and pie charts you see in the TV commercials—were mostly as expected, with a few surprises. I knew that my maternal grandfather came from Sweden, and his family name can be traced back a couple of hundred years there, yet “Swedish” only accounted for 4% of my DNA. According to Ancestry, I had more Irish and Scottish DNA (5% total), even though there are no known ancestors from Ireland or Scotland on the family tree. The accuracy of these consumer-marketed DNA tests has been questioned, and when I uploaded my data to MyHeritage.com and searched for matches, the country with the largest number of “distant relatives,” after the U.S.A., was Sweden. But Ancestry did trace my lineage, correctly, back to specific towns in Poland and Sicily, and even if the company’s country-of-origin classifications are a little off at times, they’re a lot more fun than competitor Family Tree DNA’s broad regional categories—“West and Central Europe” and “Southeast Europe,” for example. With fun in mind, we paid for Ancestry’s “Traits” add-on feature, in which appearance and sensory traits are predicted, based on DNA analysis. These include finger length, earlobe type, eye color, hair color, skin color, cleft chin versus smooth chin, unibrow tendency, and type of ear wax. (Despite its novelty and scientific validity, “What kind of ear wax do you have?” is not a recommended icebreaker at parties, even when geneticists are present.) Ancestry’s predictions were right on nearly every count, with the unfortunate exception of “male hair loss”; my genes indicated a low risk, but I’ve been taller than my hair since my late twenties. As for sensory traits, I’ve known for a while now that I’m among the 40% of Europe-descended Americans—we happy few, we band of brothers—able to detect a strange smell in my urine after
eating asparagus. The DNA predicted as much, along with my tolerance for cilantro (roughly 10% of the population suffers from “cilantro aversion”) and my seeming immunity to “sun sneezing,” which I still have trouble believing is a real thing, despite its affecting up to 35% of humanity. None of these traits is likely to dramatically affect a person’s life, but 23andMe offers a “Health + Ancestry” package that focuses on stuff that could, like whether you’re a carrier for certain diseases, or if you have a genetic variant that increases a specific risk to your health. I’ve no doubt that people’s lives have been saved because of such knowledge; I’m also certain that people’s lives have been negatively impacted, perhaps even ruined, as the result of living in fear of an increased chance of Alzheimer’s or breast cancer. DNA kits are not just a product of the 21st century, in many ways they perfectly encapsulate it. There are issues of privacy: Should you allow DNA matches to contact you? Who gets to use your data, and how? If you allow your data to be used for research, are you generously contributing to science, or being taken advantage of by the companies that commodify it? There’s also the issue of information overload: How much information is too much, and which information can be trusted? Luckily, consumers control most of these decisions, many of them via the various opt-in/opt-out checkpoints at registration. But they’re tricky questions, ones our ancestors never had to consider. For me, the process was worth it, if only for the humbling realization of just how much and how far my own ancestors traveled in search of a better life—I moved 47 miles, from New York to New Jersey, and it felt like kind of a big deal at the time. As a consumer experience, a DNA kit can deliver the cheap enjoyment of a $10 fortune teller revealing “hidden” facts about yourself, or the grim reality of a doctor’s medical diagnosis—a wide range, to be sure. In the genetic lottery, winning or losing is subjective, and you can’t pick your numbers—or more accurately, given the alphabetical symbols for DNA’s four chemical bases, your letters. But you can decide whether to check your ticket, or maintain a bit of mystery and keep your spit to yourself.
“What kind of ear wax do you have?” is not a recommended icebreaker at parties.

FIGHT IN THE MUSEUM
Nine questions with Megan Uhaze By Thomas Kelly I wish to introduce my friend Megan Uhaze. I have admired her colorful work for some time. Uhaze’s paintings have a bold signature style. A member of the Hamilton Arts Commission, Uhaze graduated from Philadelphia’s Moore College in 2009. She works as a professional artist for The Seward Johnson Atelier in Hamilton. Her paintings are primarily in automotive paint, lacquer and acrylic on Masonite. What are you communicating with your art? My current body of work is focused on critically endangered species. After starting to work full-time at the Johnson Atelier as an artist, I had a bit of a slow spot in my own art. I decided to work from a topic or list to push myself just to work and see what happens. I chose endangered species. It’s been eye-opening, and since I’m a person who is very much influenced by design and color theory, the different colors and patterns found in animals and in nature have been really fun to work with. What media do you use and why? I started painting in oils and acrylic, but after moving further into my career as a painter at the Atelier I have found many products through my job that I really enjoy. My work for the past five years is primarily in automotive paint and other industrial finishes. I sometimes use raw pigments, lacquer, spray paint and other products meant more for commercial finishing. Who were you influenced by? I was exposed to art from a young age. My father is an architect and very into design and art. He was very structured using sharp lines, balance and symme-
three to four days a week, but I give myself time to sit and stare at it, ponder what’s next. Sometimes I only work for a quick minute, other times I sit for hours. Do you acquire your art supplies locally? I get things pretty locally. I buy a lot from Jerry’s Art-a-rama and A.C. Moore. I prefer to work on hardboard so I buy a lot of Masonite from Home Depot, or I use old wood board that I find. Where do you like to eat? My husband and I are pizza junkies, so Delorenzo’s is one of our favorites. What fight/struggle do you have regarding your art? I would say time to create is the hardest. Since my day job is focused around art and making art, finding the energy and the time to push forward into my own art can be challenging. I have scaled down the size of my painting and work since college to make working at home easier. What one attribute should all artists have? You should be making art because “Brave new world,” a work created by Hamilton artist Megan Uhaze in you can’t breathe unless you do. I tell 2017, is solvent-based paint on Masonite. Uhaze’s paintings are primarily my husband that I feel emotionally and physically off if I go too long without in automative paint, lacquer and acr ylic on Masonite. making art. If you are painting what you think people want to buy, then you’re try. I see that influence in my paintings that central subject. When I’m paint- missing the point, in my opinion. It as they are very graphic, balanced and ing animals, I do a lot of research. I will should be a unique expression of you. For more information about Megan have clean lines. Artists I admire are Gil- study their habitat, what they eat, what bert & George for their amazing use of the threats to their well-being are, etc. I Uhaze, go online to facebook.com/ color and design. Frida Kahlo, Kehinde find that the patterns, colors, shapes and meganuhazeart. Wylie, Andy Warhol and Shepard Fairey other images in the painting will come were also influences. I’m inspired by from this information. I love color, and local street art and the mural art culture. I always play with bright and bold color Thomas Kelly is a Hamiltoncombinations.
